In the context of translation, what is the final product of gene expression?
A
A ribosome
B
A DNA molecule
C
A polypeptide (protein)
D
mRNA
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that gene expression involves two main processes: transcription and translation. Transcription produces mRNA from DNA, and translation uses mRNA to synthesize a product.
Recall that during translation, ribosomes read the mRNA sequence to assemble amino acids in the correct order.
Recognize that the sequence of amino acids linked together forms a polypeptide chain, which folds into a functional protein.
Identify that the ribosome is the molecular machine facilitating translation, not the final product itself.
Conclude that the final product of gene expression at the translation stage is a polypeptide (protein), which carries out cellular functions.
